What Makes a Niche Profitable?
The best niches share three traits:
- Buyers have money (they are running actual businesses)
- The problem is urgent (they are losing customers without a site)
- The solution is clear (they know exactly what they want)
Focus on one niche, build multiple variations, and become the go-to seller for that category on LaunchDrop.
